Chapter 7: Jealous

Yshianna's POV

The first thing I did in the morning is just to stay blankly on one side of my room thinking of my life choices which would probably either help or ruin me. I mean you do that right? Or is it just me?

After getting dressed for school I went downstairs to eat breakfast, hopefully that bastard isn't up yet. I peeked in the kitchen and sighed in relief when I didn't see Anthony which is probably still sound asleep since it's just 5:00 AM. I went to the fridge to get a milk. The moment I closed the fridge I immediately dropped the milk when I saw Anthony topless with a towel around his neck. His hair is wet, probably just went out of the shower.

I acted like nothing happened and picked up the milk and just went to the island counter. I refuse to look or even greet to him since I haven't totally moved on when he said I was 'useless' yesterday which probably hurt my ego but whatever.

I just casually put on some milk on my cereal while he's drinking water and staring at me, like I'm doing something weird. I wanted to say 'quit staring at me' but I remembered that I was angry at him so I didn't even bothered to look at him for just a second.

"You do know that you should put milk first before the cereal right?" he asked and leaned on to the counter. I picked up my bowl and went to the dining area just so I could avoid him. My blood is starting to boil because of his stupidity. Duh! Of course you should put cereal first before the milk dumbass!

"You don't know how to cook? How are we supposed to eat then?" he annoyingly asked like a spoiled ass kid waiting for his maids to serve him but sadly they're not here and I won't serve him as well.

I just continued eating like he's invisible and or I don't even feel his presence that irritates me so much. He sat on my right side and placed his elbows on the table. I somehow glanced at his veiny arms. For a high school student, he looks pretty athletic while I'm just a potato and study hard cause that's what I know best.

"Are you avoiding me?" he asked and narrowed his eyes. I just stood up with the empty bowl in my hands and went to the sink to wash the dishes. He sarcastically laughed that he couldn't believe that I'm ignoring him. I mean a guy like him? Ignored by someone like me? Yeah I know I have the nerve and I could say I'm brave.

"I couldn't believe this, an ugly kid ignoring me?" he asked. I heard him stood up, probably going back to his room. I rinsed all the tools that I used and wiped my hands using a towel when somebody pulled on my elbow and I came face to face with Anthony that has an intense glare. He stepped forward causing me to move back and hit the counter.

I gulped when I saw his eyes, the most beautiful eyes I've seen-- oh what am I thinking? I'm supposed to be mad at him. I avoided eye contact and looked to the side instead. He smirked and scoffed. "So you really are avoiding me huh?" he asked but I didn't answered nor look at him.

"Are you mad or something?" he casually asked like it doesn't even bother him. I stayed silent till he gave up and sighed. "Whatever" he said and went upstairs. I let go of my breath that I didn't know I was holding not until he was meters away from me and out of my sight.

I felt my heart pounding so fast like it's coming out of my rib cage. I wiped the sweat on my forehead and stared blankly again until I woke up from reality and went upstairs as well to brush my teeth and go to school. Sadly no one would drive for me so I guess I'll be taking the bus or just book an uber then. I looked at Anthony's room that's just beside mine and proceeded to go out. I think he's sleeping again since he doesn't need to go to school early like I do because I like going to the library or soccer field to study and ease my mind a little bit.

I just rode a bus since it's still early and I don't have to die stuck in the traffic. I went to the library to study or mainly just scanning the book since nothing is coming inside my brain, I just automatically remember what happened an hour ago. I shook my head in attempts to get it off my mind and decided to go to the soccer field, hoping that it would help me. While I'm on my way to the soccer field, I noticed a few students with their jerseys on and maybe practicing for a game which I don't know because I'm a lazy woman and I'm not sporty. Or maybe it's just because of my confidence? Nah I think I'm just lazy.

I sat under the tree which has the perfect view of the field with the soccer players playing. I read a novel called 'Inferno: The Underworld' which has the best plot! I wished I was the goddess though which would probably won't happen. Then suddenly that memory came popping in my head, I shook my head and closed the book which was a wrong choice. I saw Anthony playing in the field with his jersey on. I rubbed my eyes just to make sure if I wasn't hallucinating or anything that we make me go insane. I even wiped my eyeglasses just to make sure it was him.

And it's clearly him! When he looked at where I was sitting I immediately looked away pretending that I was looking at some trees. I looked at him again when he was back focusing on the game. His thick eyebrows shows how serious he is, his sweat is dripping on his neck which makes him look hot when some boys would usually look disgusting but in my eyes he looks like he just went out of the shower.

The way his muscles flex when he kicks the ball or run is just incredibly attractive. I never knew athletic guys could be this handsome! I wished I paid attention to athletes when I come here, but I guess this sight makes my standards high. When he looked back at him again I pretended to look for something inside my bag. When I feel like he's not looking anymore I just found myself staring at him again. My heart went crazy when he brushed his hair back which exposed his forehead, i didn't know foreheads could be this attractive!

I lost it when he looked at me and smirked when he saw me staring at him. I rolled my eyes and looked away, I grabbed my bag and stood up. When I was getting rid of some dirt on my skirt I jumped when someone talked. i turned around to see Anthony wiping his sweat

"Why are you here?" he asked but I still didn't talk. He sighed and took a step closer to me

"Still mad?" he asked and pouted. He looks incredibly attractive, no wonder why some girls would scream when they see him and go crazy if he smiles and just dramatically faints when he waves at them and will surely die if he would talk to them!

"You came here to read?" he asked and glanced at the novel I was holding. Don't ask the obvious!

"You won't really answer huh?" he sighed

"Hey bro! Another game?" his teammate asked while holding a ball in his hands

"Yeah! Be right back in a sec!" he answered and turned back to look at me again

"Come here often" when he saw my eyes with a questioning look he took that as 'what do you mean?'

"...It makes me motivated"
